Hill County’s Youngest Philanthropist

Jocelyn Kolar recently celebrated her 6th birthday with the theme of charity.

Andrew Carnegie spent the first half of his life making a fortune and the second half giving it away. He set up libraries across the country and benefited numerous charitable organizations.

But Jocelyn decided not to wait to become a Carnegie, a Ford, or a Rockefeller, to become a philanthropist. For her birthday, Jocelyn and her friends celebrated at Flips Gymnastics in Waco and she asked that all gifts be directed to the animals being cared for by Hill County Paw Pals. Some of the gifts included dog food, leashes, collars, bowls, toys, and money.

Jocelyn is the daughter of Jennifer and Jeremy Kolar of Abbott and she attends Abbott Elementary School.
